For everyone who has questions about traveling/living in another country, allow me to recommend http://www.talesmag.com/rprweb/home.shtml. It has real "post reports" that tell you anything you could possibly want to know about almost any country in the world (presence/absence of McDonald's, pollution index, safety concerns for foreigners, etc.). If you're a travel nerd like me, it's a fun site to browse, even if you're not going anywhere soon. I know the board already recommended the State Department's post reports, but this site's reports include better real-life details.
